Burning Water- Chapter One
Beginnings.
The war was finally ending. All those battles they had gone through had lead to this point. They had gotten here just in time their small group of misfits and soldiers. And them. The small group, a family if you wished, formed so many months ago. Katara could hardly believe it. If she had never gotten mad at her brother, then she would have never cracked the iceberg and they would have never found Aang. She then wouldn't have had these great adventures, or become a master Waterbender. She would have never even met the love over her young life. She knew she was young yes, but that didn't stopping from knowing what her heart wanted. In her mind Amber eyes danced, and flames flickered, a soft chuckle echoing.
She shook her head, her braid swinging wildly around her. Now wasn't the time for thoughts of love. She had to concentrate. They may not get this chance again; no they would never get this chance again. They had missed the eclipse yes, just by a few hours, but fortunately firebenders were still feeling the effects of it. It was now or never. Now was the only chance they had to achieve peace for the world. For all the nations, for all the lands people. For everyone and everything.
She took a deep breathe, steeling herself for the battle to come. She could not panic no matter what happened. She opened her blue eyes and surveyed the giant fortress before her. The metal walls gleamed in the fading sunlight. Getting in would be easy, thanks to Toph's skill in metal bending. It was the battle inside that would be difficult. Many people would be injured, some even lost completely. She just prayed it wouldn't be her or her loved ones. Following the signal from Aang, Toph ripped a huge gash in one of the fortresses walls. Pushing her panic and fear aside she stepped through the unsightly gash prepared for the battle.
